I just skimmed my past comments and I noticed I typo a lot. Like probably at least 1 typo every few comments.

Then again I use my phone often so its hard to type, since I do not use autocorrect (don’t trust autocorrect)

    I’m on a desktop PC. I have LanguageTool installed, and it flags both spelling and grammar mistakes as I type. Also, I write fiction as a hobby and have plenty of practice typing, so I hope that I don’t post too many mistakes.

    I have nerve damage in my hands so typos are a huge part of typing on a phone for me. I’ve gotten in the habit of going back and rereading a time or two before hitting post because there will always be a few words that are unrecognizable.

    (For instance, before I went back just now, “hitting” was “hjrrjbd”)

    Extremely common. I got into this unfortunate habit of hitting post and then editing typos afterward, and I think it increased the amount I do it by a lot.

      Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.

      Same, I struggle with posting before reading on the phone especially. My confidence despite only being 10% as accurate on the phone is exactly the same after finishing typing on the phone.

    Probably quite often on mobile, however I type very quickly and no autocorrect (same as you) so I get quite quick at deleting what I’ve typed and trying again lol.

    In probably 100% of things longer than a single sentence—if written on my phone. I have fat thumbs, what can I say?

      I hate iPhone keyboards so much. It’s like they actually hate me. It’s almost enough to make me use voice to text for everything. But I can’t make my brain and mouth work at the same time.

        Voice to text is actually pretty good! I use it in short bursts, like if I want to send a text or something, it works very well. For any kind of long form typing though, I don’t even think about it.

        My boomer mom and all her friends have iPhones. They all typo. They all complain about the keyboard. She’s given up now, since she’s sundowning hard and life for her is just too short. She vomits some letter chowder and we eventually figure it out.

        Wasnt apple supposed to be a pro-people best-UX utopia?

    I don’t often notice my typos,

    But when do, it’s after a day and a ton of interaction with said comment.
